SMOKING IN ENCLOSED PUBLIC PLACES
Early day motion 265, tabled 1 December 2004 by Anne Begg (Labour). Signed by 35 members.
That this House welcomes the announcement from the Scottish Executive proposing legislation to end smoking in all enclosed public places in Scotland; congratulates the First Minister Jack McConnell for putting health at the top of Scotland's political agenda; notes the cross-party support in the Scottish Parliament for ending smoking in enclosed public places; further notes that no-one has the right to damage the health of others; and therefore calls on Her Majesty's Government to go further than the Choosing Health White Paper recommendations and introduce similar comprehensive legislation for the UK.
